Hey guys! finished my upholstery finally!! Wasnt too bad installing, the leather will get tighter when they get baked in the car from the heat ( The Wrinkles will be gone!!!) so it will look much better, but i think it is def badass now! heres the pics!

Leathers costed $700.00, the price was well worth it, and the pics do NOT give justice.

Looks nice, great job. I wouldnt recommend painting anything besides the door handles and power window trim. It wont last, your better off dyeing it black instead.
GL with the rest of your work :)

Much appreciated guys! Galante these can be put on your car. THESE ARE THOSE AUTOZONE SLIDE ON COVERS! you need to physically take your OEM material off the seats, then reattach the new ones, i'm in the process of making a tutorial, it is already started but i just need to finish it, it should be done tonight. Not sure how far Manitoba is, which i believe is in Canada but if your willing to either A: Pay shipping on the seats i can do it for you free of charge or B: Drive down to Connecticut and we can do it together and if you want crash at my crib for the night. This isnt an Amateur project, if you dont take your time you will mess up. Once you get the hang of it, sure its easy, but very time consuming and frustrating. You also need to cut the OEM clips off the seats and then Sew them on the new covers if they didnt come with any.(the clips hold the OEM material tight to the seat, in some areas). Zobgel is selling another set of leathers. I believe the kind he has in stock right now is Beige and Black Looks REALLY good. But i went with the black/grey due to my black galant. Zobgel did say to Goosey that he could sew custom ones due to your preference like suede or cow hide cheetah...what ever lol PM me if you have questions.

Thanks again guys!!!

Lol, I'm such a n00b, I used a pair of needlenose pliers for mine. :cool:

Those are some nice seats, though. I'm pretty green with envy right now. :D

Thankfully, I'm not willing to spend 700 on my seats yet, so I'm not THAT jealous. I love the look, though. Great job!
